Songting Pass.
Zhu Di and others didn't look very good.
Although they successfully conquered Songting Pass, the battle last night was too brutal.
There were originally 30,000 defenders, but when they finally pacified them, less than half were left!
Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other generals in the army are still frightened and their expressions are extremely ugly.
Blow up the camp, blow up the camp, this is how to blow up the camp!
It simply turned the soldiers of the three armies into bloodthirsty beasts!
Those who are hysterical, those who seek revenge, those who are self-protecting, those who simply want to vent their grievances, all of them are chopped together tirelessly!
Such bloody and crazy scenes, even if they saw it, they would be afraid!
Everyone present was a general who led troops in the war, and Bu Wan's fate was vividly remembered, which was like a wake-up call for them.
Zhu Di was also a little scared. He didn't expect Su Yang's plan to be so vicious!
It wasn't originally a "distancing tactic", but how could it turn into a mutiny by bombing the camp?
Seeing that the generals were looking at him with something wrong, Zhu Di immediately explained: "Ahem, this is not my king's strategy, but it comes from my wise son-in-law Su Yang."
Generals: "???"
Mr. Su?
That Art of War master?
No wonder the prince’s dispatch of troops this time was strange.
It turns out that all this was planned by Mr. Su!
Hiss...it's so dirty!
People who play tactics have dirty hearts!
At this moment, Chen Heng strode in.
"The last general, Chen Heng, has come to see His Highness King Yan, and is willing to accompany His Highness to raise troops to quell the difficulties and stabilize the country!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Heng up.
After all, this man was the great hero of the Yan Army's capture of Songting Pass. If it weren't for him, how could it have been so easy for the Yan Army to capture Songting Pass!
"Okay Chen Tiejia, let's stop talking so much between you and me!"
"There is one more important thing now. Liu Zhen led his army to escape last night and probably went straight to Daning!"
"Please tell everyone in detail the current situation in Daning."
When Chen Heng heard this, a warm current suddenly flashed through his heart.
King Zhu Di of Yan really regarded him as his brother!
With such a broad mind, how can he compare to that brat Zhu Yunwen?
"Your Majesty, just yesterday, Bu Wan mobilized another 30,000 troops to come."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Zhen is going after these 30,000 troops!"
"There is no strong fortress behind Songting Pass. The general thought that Liu Zhen would definitely consolidate his forces and defend Daning City!"
Daning!
Everyone was a little silent when they heard this.
If Liu Zhen leads his army to stick to Daning, it will be really troublesome.
"The Xingdu Division of Daning leads more than 20 guards in Xingzhou and Yingzhou. They are all elites from the northwest, brave and good at fighting!"
"In addition, there are the three guards of Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu, as well as the troops of Fanqiwei commanded by the Meng Yuan generals, who are particularly brave."
"If Liu Zhen really leads his army to defend, it will be impossible for our army to conquer Daning in a short time!"
Chen Heng briefly described it and spoke based on the facts.
Everyone also understood that this was the truth, so no one blamed him for letting other people's ambitions destroy his own prestige.
Because Daning Dusi was located outside the Great Wall, the imperial court had been hoarding heavy troops here.
In addition, Daning is located outside the Great Wall and often faces attacks from Mongolian barbarians. Therefore, Daning's soldiers are famous for being brave and good at fighting, far beyond those of the imperial guards!
Zhu Di also knew this very well, so after thinking for a moment, he chose to withdraw his troops.
Now that Songting Pass is broken, Peiping has two gates, Juyong Pass and Songting Pass. Even if Liu Zhen sticks to Daning and wants to raid Peiping, he will have no way.
Moreover, the imperial army was about to attack, and Zhu Di had to return to the army in person to take charge.
After some discussion, Zhu Di left Tan Yuan to garrison Songting Pass. Chen Heng and the surrender army must be brought back to the Xishan Mountains of Peiping to receive military training from Su Yang.
It is estimated that the first batch of 50,000 surrendered troops are almost trained, and it is time to pull them out and go into battle to kill the enemy.
At the same time, Beiping Xishan.
Su Yangzheng and Zhu Gaochi were chatting away.
"I said, brother, do you have nothing to do?"
"I'm too lazy to take a few days off, so I just came to see you!"
Zhu Gaochi lay leisurely on the recliner, feeling indescribably comfortable and unrestrained.
It seems that Prince Yan really has nothing to do.
His father and his generals went out to attack Songting Pass, but he could not intervene in the battle.
As for the civil affairs food and grass area, not only was it managed by Master Daoyan and Jin Zhongchangshi, but also Guo Zi, Lu Zhen and others cooperated, so Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan, was actually free.
It was estimated that Su Yang was almost done with his military training, so he came to Xishan in a big, fat way, ready to see how the training of these surrendered troops was going.
"This shouldn't be the case!"
"Aren't you the mainstay of Prince Yan's palace?"
Su Yang asked curiously. He had never understood the identity of this good big brother.
You said that this guy can come in and out of Prince Yan's Mansion at will, and is very familiar with Daoyan, monk Jin Zhongchangshi and others, so what on earth is he doing in Prince Yan's Mansion?
In my memory, there seems to be no such person in Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Zhu Gaochi noticed Su Yang's suspicion and immediately changed the topic.
"By the way, Su Yang, the Zhang Bing you value seems to be unable to bear the blow and has gone crazy!"
"What did you say?" Su Yang was shocked when he heard this, "Is Zhang Bing crazy? What's going on?"
Zhang Bing was a talented official. If he could serve in the Yongle Dynasty, it would definitely be good news to the people.
It was so good, why did he suddenly go crazy?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. News came from the court. As you expected, Zhu Yunqi gave up on Xia Yuanji's plan of trapping and killing. Instead, he ordered Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen to be the commander, and he signed the seal to go out to command the Thirteenth Army. Ten thousand troops are coming to Peiping!"
"Hiss... Xia Yuanji!"
When Su Yang heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This Xia Yuanji is not just a cat or a dog, but Emperor Yongle’s money bag!
If it weren't for Xia Yuanji's management of money and food, how could Zhu Di have accomplished anything in the arts and martial arts, and become an emperor through the ages? He would have become "Yang Guang's second" due to the collapse of the imperial court's finances!
Xia Yuanji can be called a capable minister in governing the world!
When Big Fatty saw that Su Yang was very interested in Xia Yuanji, he was suddenly puzzled.
Brother, is there something wrong with what you are paying attention to?
You don't pay attention to such a big thing, but instead pay attention to Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department?
How can a mere sixth-grade head of the household department still fall under your eyes?
Or is there something special about this Xia Yuanji?
"Brother-in-law, is Xia Yuanji a talented person?"
Big Fatty asked excitedly.
Su Yang didn't hide it from him either.
"A minister who is able to govern the world can serve as a minister and assistant!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was immediately shocked!
This was the first time he heard such high praise from Su Yang!
It seems that this Xia Yuanji is not only a talent, but also a peerless talent!
"But I'm a little curious, who is your court's spy?"
"He knows everything that happens in the court, and he also knows the specific military strength of the court!"
"With this status and status, he shouldn't be an ordinary official, right?"
Su Yang looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile, but the latter laughed twice and did not answer.
That person's identity has always been the top secret of the Yan Palace. He only interacts with his father and Master Daoyan, and no one is allowed to interfere.
So although Big Fatty has some speculations, they have never been confirmed.
"Tsk tsk, sit on the wall on both sides!"
"The Duke of Wei really played a good game of chess!"
Zhu Gaochi: "!!!"
What?
What did I say?
How did Su Yang know it was the one from Duke Wei's mansion?
Big Fatty was stunned and looked at Su Yang in disbelief.
Is it so terrifying to banish immortals from all over the world?
